Clinical TrialOxcarbazepine monotherapy in postherpetic neuralgia unresponsive to carbamazepine and gabapentin.
We present the results of a preliminary, open-label trial to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of oxcarbazepine in postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) unresponsive to treatment with antiepileptic drugs (carbamazepine and gabapentin) and local anesthetic blocks. ⋯ Oxcarbazepine appears to be a promising alternative monotherapeutic approach for patients affected by PHN.

Headache and transient focal neurological symptoms during pregnancy, a prospective cohort.
The main purpose of the present prospective study was to evaluate the course of migraine and non-migrainous headache during pregnancy and to estimate the occurrence of self-reported transient focal neurological symptoms. ⋯ Transient neurological symptoms were less common among individuals without or with non-migrainous headache compared with migraine. This may indicate that there is an increased susceptibility of unknown cause for these symptoms among migraine patients during pregnancy.
